ahhh....theres a dial or a button...that can switch between "air from outside" and "circulate"
if its set to "air from outside" and u drive through smoky places, of course the smoke smell will come inside the car
and the aircon will be less cold as well
so need to set to circulate
*
owh the two button below the dial...yeah, it was set to circulate air..maybe because heavy braking..most likely, thanks biggrin.gif

hi mr aliern,

im using circulate. i still able smell a little lorry smoke from outside when waiting traffic light. or smell mee goreng when pass by food stall.
when filling petrol, i can smell heavy petrol come in to my car. ya, i didnt turn off my engine n keep my aircon on, hehe...
have u guys got this experience before? can sc fix the problem?
*
Same here, just got the car yesterday and sometimes can smell like sumthing burning, but check engine temperature is normal at 5 bar, maybe because the brake pad quality? hmm.gif
The issue about smell of petrol inside cabin after fill up i think is normal to all proton car, my neo also has this issue and until now no problem occur related to that nod.gif

No, for normal only 3 bars. Im very comfirm with this coz my sa had told me never go over 4-5 bars. i did always keep monitor my temperature it jz stay at 3 bars.

Pls check ur coolant asap. Sometime they forgot pour the coolant as i had read some thread here. Or else send to sc tomorrow.

Oh...already check again today, it was actually at 3rd bar biggrin.gif


QUOTE(Longy @ Apr 5 2012, 10:37 AM)
Launching time it was said GT radial rubbers ( maybe from Indonesia ). But it is only 3 months since launch and proton has changed to cheap tyres ? sad.gif . Hmmm , am I taking another risk in life by buying Proton model?
*
The tyre written Champiro BAX2...i thought different from GT Radial but actually the same...lol laugh.gif

Anyway, this engine pair up with the CVT really saves fuel, compare to my 4G18p and 1.6 campro alot of difference

Guys, just now my hand itchy so I update the GPS map which is A1000HD Lokatoo
After I update, it need to be activated. But the problem come when I couldnt activate the GPS because "invalid mapset ID"
I dont know why, but I already follow the instruction given and follow the mapset ID shown on the GPS unit but still cannot get the activate key from lokatoo website

Any idea why?

Checked at official exora forum, got two possibilities:
1) battery connector loose
2) crank sensor kong

Mostly because of number 1, just check your connector make sure is tight, no harm done trying smile.gif

Why proton car got problem with connector loose... this is just a small thing...  doh.gif  doh.gif

happen also when my fren bring me together to take his new car (saga fl) ... before sign the agreement while checking i find out this problem too... lucky because i like to check everything.. if other people maybe  whistling.gif  whistling.gif

It is not Proton problem entirely...it is the SA "tidak apa" attitude
They purposely loose the connector so that the battery will not discharge when in store, but they forget to tighten it back when handling to customer

ur car manual should mention what is the meaning of the blinking abs indicator..and if im not mistaken, when the abs is working, we can feel that the brake pedal is vibrating while we are braking..but i dont think the abs light will blink when abs is doing its job for most cars..
*
Khatam the manual book two times already xD
Only mention when want to start it will test the abs and the abs light indicator will on and if the abs fail, it will on all the way

Hi all EB owner,

I'm in the market looking for MPV for family. I've tested bold and to be honest, I really like it. I've owned wira and currently, a waja CPS.

Just want to know, How is u guys bold (CFE type) performing ? Do you guys really like it ? Any regret ?

I've read through the thread and some online forum...seems like quite a number of prob...like oil leak, engine dead while stopping, loud engine noise, weird engine noise...

My waja CPS (manual)  is great...so far performing very well and quite powerful, no regrets getting it.

So guys, share ur short experience with bold.

Thanks.
*
My CFE bold, good power, comfort in ride n handling
Rear seats can fold down and can even baring on top of it because flat, not all mpv can do this tongue.gif
Handful when balik kampung but not enough room to sleep
Aircond really cold, even set to low

Problems of my 2 weeks bold
- Engine died suddenly (solved by tightening the battery connector)
- Aircond sumtime give out funny smell
- Always make me want to press the pedal more brows.gif

Hey guys, any insider info whether the next Exora Bold (facelift, minorchange, etc) will eventually be fitted with either a 1.8 or 2.0 MIVEC engine found in the Inspira?

If so, I can't wait to place a booking.
*
They will never fit the Mivec in the Exora, I am sure about this
Why you want the mivec? just asking

Hopefully your EB will be okay as soon as possible smile.gif
So far my EB dont have that problem. yet.

QUOTE(ir5 @ Apr 19 2012, 11:56 AM)
I'm planning to purchase Exora Bold CFE.. would like to get your sincere comment about that MPV? Any problem so far? Worth to buy it or not? What's the reliability of the 1st Proton CFE engine??
*
3 weeks of owning EB

Pros :
Good damn pickup
FC like a 1.8 but with 2.0 power
It is so stable during highspeed drive and wind noise is acceptable at 150km/h
Spacious interior and doesnt look cheap
Aircon for every row! ( located at the side for safety)
Good stopping distance thumbup.gif
"Garang" looks
Reminds the driver if the seat belt is not fasten and auto lock after 20km/h ( this is useful for me at least)
10 000km service interval icon_idea.gif
60 000km for cvt oil change
so far no rattling sound

Cons :
One way valve problem (the first batch mostly have this problem, mine still okay)
Aircon sumtime give funny funny smell ( i have this problem, but some other dont have)
Oil control valve ( very few owner have this problem, SC has rectify and change them in less than hour. )
Jerk like manual kancil at low speed during deceleration ( <10km/h ) * it just cvt behavior but it may annoy the owner
Reverse camera not functioning after hit big pothole ( bring to SC and they will tighten the connection)

Overall it is a worth MPV to buy under RM100k
Go test drive and decide brows.gif

I dont know the detail but you can listen the sound when they start the engine. Mostly occur for the first badge EB
If got this problem then u will have send to SC and wait for a week the most for them to fix it
